    weird clanking noise in the rear

    i checked out my driveshaft ended up being a u joint. so i replaced it. still hearing this noise. i can hear it when i let the clutch out and sometime putting it in, and especially when i go over the little bump to my garage i hear it only on the rear right side. does this sound like the axle to any one else? i also kinda think its the diff but i checked the axle for looseness and its fine..

    cv joints?

    Check the differential and transmission mounts as well as the RTAB's, subframe bushings and upp shock mounts. The noise could be from worn parts.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      Mine does the same thing. I always assumed it was from worn bushings.
